Positional isomers of dicarba-doso-dodecaboranethiols with various functional groups (-NO2, -CHO, -CONH2, -F, -Cl, and -OH) were considered on Au(111) forming (3 x 3) and (5 x 5) structures. Dispersion corrected density functional theory calculations reveal the influence of functional groups on the adsorption characteristics of these carboranethiols depending on the coverage. Functionalized molecules not only possess fascinating chemical and electronic properties but also show stronger chemisorption profiles on gold in relation to the pristine precursors. Molecular dipole moments which can be modified by functional groups were found to be effective in tunability of the work function of deposited surfaces. Results indicate that densely packed adsorption geometries in which functional groups lean toward back of adjacent molecules allowing H-bonding are energetically favorable and enhance stability and ordering of constituents in self-assembled monolayers. Carboranethiols with functional groups are promising to enrich the surface electrochemical properties of resulting surfaces.

STRUCTURAL STABILITY AND ENERGETICS OF THE PHOSPHORUS MICROCLUSTERS P-2 TO P-10 - AN MNDO CALCULATION YILMAZ, H (1992-05-25) The geometries of the low-lying isomers of phosphorus P2 to P10 were calculated using the semiempirical modified neglect of diatomic overlap method. It was found that, in those cases (P2 and P4) where spectroscopic data are available, the bond strengths are overestimated. The binding energies were found to be underestimated in those cases (P2, P3 and P4) where thermodynamically derived values for the gas phase are available. A roof-shaped tetramer is a prominent structural unit in low-lying states of P5, P6...
Syntheses and Characterization of Benzotriazole, Thienopyrroledione, and Benzodithiophene Containing Conjugated Random Terpolymers for Organic Solar Cells Goksu, Kardelen; Hizalan, Gonul; Udum, Yasemin Arslan; Hacioglu, Serife Ozdemir; Cevher, Sevki Can; Akrema, Akrema; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Çırpan, Ali (The Electrochemical Society, 2019-11-20) Two random terpolymers bearing alkoxy-benzodithiophene as an electron-rich unit and N-octylthieno[3,4,c]pyrrole-4,6-dione (TPD) as an electron deficient group with thiophene and selenophene pi bridges, were synthesized and characterized. Electrochemical, optical properties of the polymers were analyzed to get an insight on the effect of different p bridges. Photovoltaic performances of the polymers were investigated with a conventional device architecture. PBTS, PBTSe based polymer solar cells (PSCs) exhibi...
Chemisorption of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane on Si(001)-(2 x 2) Demirel, G.; Cakmak, M.; Caykara, T.; Ellialtıoğlu, Süleyman Şinasi (2007-10-18) The results of an ab initio calculation, based on pseudopotentials and the density functional theory, for the atomic and electronic structures of the chemisorption of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTS) on the Si(001)-(2 x 2) surface are presented. Two possible models for the chemisorption location of the APTS molecule are considered on the hydroxylated Si(001)-(2 x 2) surface: (i) an above-pedestal position (intra-row) between adjacent Si dimers and (ii) an above-hollow position. The first case is found t...
Free radical scavenging and antioxidative properties of 'silibin' complexes on microsomal lipid peroxidation Basaga, H; Poli, G; Öztekin, Ceren; Aras, I (1997-03-01) The antioxidant properties of silibin complexes, the water-soluble form silibin dihemisuccinate (SDH), and the lipid-soluble form, silibin phosphatidylcholine complex known as IdB 1016, were evaluated by studying their abilities to react with the superoxide radical anion (O-2(-)), and the hydroxyl radical (OH.). In addition, their effect on pulmonary and hepatic microsomal lipid peroxidation had been investigated. Superoxide radicals were generated by the PMS-NADH system and measured by their ability to red...
Electrorheological properties of kaolinite, polyindole, and polyindole/kaolinite composite suspensions Arslan, Yasin; Unal, Halil Ibrahim; Yilmaz, Hasim; Sari, Bekir (Wiley, 2007-06-05) In this study, polyindole (PIN) and polyindole/kaolinite (PIN/KAO) composite were synthesized by free radical polymerization using FeCl3 as an initiator. Average particle sizes (d(50)) of PIN and PIN/KAO composite were determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) as 7.2 and 6.2 mu m, respectively. The samples were characterized by FTIR, elemental analysis, DSC/TGA and SEM measurements. Suspensions of KAO, PIN, and PIN/KAO composite were prepared in silicone oil (SO) and the sedimentation stabilities were de...
